My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Sen. Roger Marshall, on MS NOW, says he doesn't know the "details" and can't comment on Trump's pardon of a former Honduran leader who was convicted of major drug trafficking. That's the go-to move by GOP lawmakers these days: ignorance of things that they're being paid to know about.
